Alternatively to the use of the GUID you might use the MSI file for uninstall as well. I prefer this method since some packagers tend to create new GUID strings on each release - so you need to search for the right ID at each release. Using the MSI file obsoletes this step:

MSI installer package.xml for use with existing older exe based installs

Background The hosts on my network are a mix of 7-Zip (various versions) .exe and .msi based installs. If you do a .msi based install without first uninstalling the .exe version it will leave some files from the .exe based install intact as well as an entry in "Add/Remove Programs".

Use this if you have existing .exe based installs of 7-Zip (such as 4.20) and you would like to uninstall them before switching to an .msi based install.

  <package id="7zip" 
        name="7-Zip"

        reboot="false" 
        priority="0">

    <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="7-Zip 4.65" />

    <install cmd='%comspec% /c if exist "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe" /S' /> 
    <install cmd='msiexec /qn /norestart /i %SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z465.msi' />

    <upgrade cmd='%comspec% /c if exist "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe" /S' /> 
    <upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /norestart /i %SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z465.msi' />

    <remove  cmd='msiexec /qn /norestart /x %SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z465.msi' />

MSI installer for use with existing older exe based installs with mixed 32-bit/64-bit hosts

On a 64-bit host, install the 64-bit version is mandatory as the 32-bit version on 7-Zip doesn't integrate in the explorer.

MSI Installer package.xml, sets 7-zip as default archive application

In meantime, while 7-zip author considers installer switches for file associations, you can use registry files to do it yourself.

MSI installer package.xml for 7-zip x64

For the 64 bit version of 7-Zip you just have to change the check-flag. This is the method, which sets 7-Zip as default application for archives.

<package id="7zip-x64"
         name="7-Zip x64"
         revision="465"
         reboot="false"
         priority="0">
       <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="7-Zip 4.65 (x64 edition)" />
       <install cmd='msiexec /qn /norestart /i %SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z465-x64.msi' />
           <install cmd="regedit /s %SETTINGS%\7zip.reg"/>
       <upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /norestart /i %SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z465-x64.msi' />
           <upgrade cmd="regedit /s %SETTINGS%\7zip.reg"/>
       <remove cmd='msiexec /x "%SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z465-x64.msi" /qn' />
   </package>

7-Zip EXE installer options

"Use the "/S" parameter to do a silent installation and the "/D=dir" parameter to specify the "output directory". These options are case-sensitive. 7-Zip uses the NSIS installer by Nullsoft." - http://www.7-zip.org/faq.html

7-ZIP 9.07 (beta)

Here an example to install the newer 9.07 beta version of 7-Zip. The GID has changed, so using the msi method for the removal is maybe the best.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<packages>
  <package id='7zip' 
        name='7-Zip' 
        revision='907'
        priority='50' 
        reboot='false' >

    <check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='7-Zip 9.07' />

    <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z907.msi" /qn' />

    <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z907.msi" /qn' />

    <remove cmd='msiexec /x "%SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z907.msi" /qn' />

  </package>
</packages>
